three million dollars in crisp can adian money and nobody wlil claim it over 13 000 bank balances rang lng from 10 to 10 000 just pleading to be withdrawn that s the picture painted by the department of finance at ottawa the nutshell story of unclaimed millions scattered across canada in banks some may be yours bank authori ties say you may be next of kin to some one who has died leaving an unclaimed balance and of whose death the bank is unaware or you may have opened an account and then forgotten about it that often happens while bonk officials do not give information regarding affairs of clients they tell the story of the man who stepped into the head office of the dominion bank and collected about 1 000 which had been lying in the bank for 20 years i just for got about it he said the other day another man step per into the branch office of a to ronto bank and collected 15 balance of an account he ihad opened before going overseas in 1914 he needed the money and suddenly reme opening the account if this man happened to be killed in the war a bank spokesman cold his little account might have ben unclaimed for years how were wc to know if he was dead or alive of such cases are bank balances composed they remain a mystery until the depositor reappears or some one proves he or she is dead bank officials sa there is really no myst ery a depositor is either alive dead they said alive he receives his money if he wants it remains unclaimed dead his relatives receive their legal share no rola uvea the treasury takes it over why are there so many unclaimed bank balances it can be traced back to the old habit of a desire to hide something one banker explain ed many years ago they hid their money in trees or buried it today they put it in the bank under an as sumed name another thing the banker pointed out was that quite often a man will put some money in the bankcash that he doesnt want his wife or per haps a grabbing family to know any thing about an yyibf of tbe depar of finance who list unclaimed balances every year said that hanking rules require that clients be notified after their account has been untouched for two years if there is no response tbe bank sends out an annual notice until tbe fiveyear legal tana baa elapsed after which it is sated on the minister of finances ir w tth bst but there are a great laaubei of unclaimed balances that r your
